i suspect this is a story that the chinese did not expect to blow up in their faces the way it has. >> i think you're exactly right, jim. i think that this follows a fairly standard chinese procedure, which is when somebody that is bringing up embarrassing things about the regime one way or the other, they essentially have that person disappear from the media. one doesn't know whether they actually are placed under house arrest or they're just told to lay low. then when concerns are raised they surface in ways just like this. you remember similar pattern with jack ma, the billionaire, founder of alibaba who made a speech in which he attacked chinese officials. he then disappeared for a while then resurfaced. so it seems somewhat similar. the difference this time is the women's tennis association is being very tough and demanding an investigation and saying it will essentially pull out of china if it doesn't. the white house is also putting some pressure on. and this is an allegation about a single official, a vice premier, a very important guy, but still not quite what jack ma was doing, which was accusing the entire chinese system of being bad. this is a specific allegation against a specific person. so the chinese, you know, they may decide it's worth actually investigating it. >> and, fareed, you have a special premiering tonight taking an in-depth look at china's leader xi jinping. let's watch a preview of that. ♪ >> xi still just a child was forced to fight for his life in the streets of beijing. >> there was nobody at home. there were no parents at home for a very young teenager. >> and that teenager was trying to survive in the chaos of a revolution. >> the cultural revolution was this implosion of chinese society right down to the family level, just this kind of inferno of all of the bonds of trust and hierarchy that organize society. >> in his late teens, the party sent xi out to work as a peasant in the countryside. >> he spent many, many years in a very poor county in northern china basically doing manual labor being a farmer, feeding pigs. >> after years spent working as a farmhand, xi made a decision about his future. >> xi jinping did a very surprising thing. which is that he applied to become a member of the party. and not just once. he was rejected over and over and over again. he was rejected because his family name was now poisoned in chinese politics for this period of time. >> finally, he gained admission to the party and began an almost 40-year climb up the ladder. but why, why would xi jinping, a victim of some of the worst cruelties of communism devote his life to strengthening the party? >> and, fareed, i remember from my travels to china, he is just a ubiquitous figure. you just see signs of him everywhere. he's just a huge part of chinese society. was there anything from xi's past that surprised you? >> um, some of what we found in, you know, this history of the cultural revolution, just how much he was a victim of the excesses of chinese communism, the degree to which his family suffered, the degree to which he personally suffered, his sister. so, an extraordinarily reality here is that some of the people who suffered the most from the cultural revolution didn't come out of it saying we've got to liberalize, we've got to open up, we've got to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen. no, what they decided was we've got to be so hard-lined, so true to the communist revolution that nobody can ever turn on us again. it's a fascinating -- sometimes you imagine that people who've been victimized take the perspective of the victim, but sometimes they say we want to make sure we're never the victim again. >> and what are his aspirations for china's global dominance? is that an aspiration of his? >> look, that's the million-dollar, trillion-dollar question. he is clearly much more ambitious for a china that has a much larger role on the world stage. whether he wants to achieve that through military force through aggression versus just diplomacy and aid and trade, that's the part where it's still very difficult to tell. and it all comes down to a place like taiwan. where we know every chinese leader has said they want to unify china with taiwan. it's in the constitution of the communist party. but do they want to do it militarily or are they relying on political and peaceful means? that is the difference between war and peace today. >> yeah. and potentially just a major test for the united states. all right, fareed zakaria, thanks so much, as always. i'm really looking forward to watching this. be sure to tune in tonight "china's iron fist: xi jinping and the stakes for america" airsk. outdoor flavors indoors, and blenders that spin up healthy eating. ninja foodi, be proud of what you make. america! after the past year-ish, everyone deserves something new! so at&t is giving everyone our best deals on every iphone - including the iphone 13 pro with its amazing camera. like everyone that worked from home. or welcomed a new family member. they were all out of dogs. our deals are for everyone! it's not complicated. at&t is giving new and existing customers our best deals on every iphone, including up to $1000 off the epic iphone 13 pro. ♪ ♪ with mucinex nightshift you've got powerful relief from your worst nighttime cold and flu symptoms. so grab nightshift to fight your symptoms, get your zzz's... and get back to your rhythm. ♪ the relief you need. the cash you want. it's walmart's black friday deals for days. score a $69 air fryer and get other huge deals all week long. shop walmart's black friday deals for days. ♪ ♪ sales are down from last quarter, but we're hopin
